Our AM-3 paper is out in Cell. Opioids are critical drugs, but have severe side effects. Because they are administered systemically, it is hard to dissect how they work, and to separate side effects. So we built one you can switch on and off with light. cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092…

I've been dabbling a lot with @Claude coding and wanted to modernize the POCC website (again). In doing so we've added a ton of new features to the site and were able resurrect a lot of lost records. We've also added modern tools like calendar integration etc, go check it out!
Be sure to check out the new-and-improved POCC website for details about upcoming events, like next month's seminar, at pocclub.org!

Lastly, Nitika's paper on photoresponsive trimethoprim PROTACs is now out @NatureComms. Grateful for our collaboration with @DirkTrauner on this one!

An opioid with a literal, light-sensitive 'on/off switch' to avoid fatal side effects, that works in vivo? Look no further - Azomorphine-3 (AM3)! The most exciting study I've been part of, thus far. With @sevakat1 @DirkTrauner and Josh Levitz lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Hot off the press: our latest work detailing a novel method for the light-inducible, cell-type specific labelling of newly synthesized proteins. This work is the fruit of a wonderful collaboration between the @KlannLab and @DirkTrauner labs! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Today, the 5th Chembion Symposium
@PharmaCampus_MS took place of which our group member @newie_nems 👩🔬helped organizing!
It had great talks among from @DirkTrauner about how ion channels are a great inspiration for synthetic chemists!🧪⚗️
